The Forum


We hosted the candidate’s forum for parish president on Tuesday night and it went well. I’ll skip the political stuff because everyone sees that differently and talk about what really excited me. That was the team that pulled the event off. Our interns, both 1st and 2nd year, were incredible. We got great feedback from the community for providing the event and the interns impressed many. They did a great job and really helped us hit a homerun in our community. So many told us they appreciated the opportunity to hear each candidate and listen to the platforms from which they wish to lead. You can catch it on EATEL Ch. 4 as soon as our tech team gets it edited. I sensed that many people are undecided and don’t know the stands of each of the candidates because the nature of our parish is changing as we grow. Our heart is to provide a forum for the candidates to define themselves and their vision for parish government in a setting where people can listen and decide for themselves. I see it as another way to serve Ascension parish and that is our heart to serve.
